Clinical Placement 

This subject commences the final series of clinical podiatry placements for students enrolled in the Honours stream. Students will consolidate their professional knowledge and skills, and demonstrate their ability to apply theoretical concepts in the workplace. Students will have the opportunity to undertake work-integrated learning with external podiatry providers in the public healthcare sector, working collaboratively with clinical educators and other practitioners to provide person-focused care. Through this subject, students will be supported to further develop skills in clinical reasoning and reflect on their own clinical practice to demonstrate principles of life-long learning that are required for continuing professional development.

Restricted to students enrolled in the Bachelor of Podiatric Medicine (Honours).
